"Nick's there to protect the vice president because the vice president can't believe what the fuck is going on."

As Talking Points Memo clarifies, "the Mooch" is referring to Nick Ayers. Vice President Mike Pence announced Nick Ayers as his new chief of staff on June 29th.

The New York TImes also suggested that Ayers was there for another reason, implying Ayers may have been there to work donors and pave the way for a Pence 2020 presidential run.

Pence slammed that story as not true. As you know, Scaramucci's tenure as communications advisor imploded on July 31st.
